Tasker Lowndes Oddie (born October 20, 1870) was a Republican politician who represented the state of Nevada in the United States Senate. A member of the Republican Party, he served as a senator from April 11, 1921, to March 3, 1933. During this period, he completed two terms in office, reflecting more than a decade of continuous service in the Senate.

Oddie’s tenure as a senator for Nevada, from 1921 to 1933, placed him among the historical members of Congress of the early twentieth century. Identified in congressional records by the bioguide ID O000035, he is noted specifically for his role as a U.S. Senator rather than for service in a particular district, as Senate seats are statewide. His career in federal office concluded in 1933, and he is recognized as a former senator from Nevada.
